It is the current form of the health care reform bill making its way through congress. Two important things to draw from this:
1) I didn't know that this resource existed for looking up Bills. Just go to THOMAS, the Library of Congress on-line resource. That knowledge alone is useful!
2) I've seen bills before, and I am always struck by how very long and bloated they are. I honestly wonder if our Congressmen read half the things they pass. My guess: at best there is some intern who has read and pulled the most important facts for said Congressman and his constituents.

It would reduce congressional mischief if each congressman and senator had to attest that he/she had read a given bill (plus amendments) twice all the way through before being allowed to cast a vote on that bill.
